TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- Fans can begin lining up at 1:30 p.m. Sunday for a chance to get autographs from Nick Saban and the rest of the Alabama football team at the Crimson Tide's annual Fan Day.

Alabama will hold an open practice from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Bryant-Denny Stadium. It's the only chance fans will have to see the Crimson Tide before its Aug. 31 season opener against Virginia Tech in Atlanta.

To enter the stadium to watch practice, fans are asked to line up at gates 11 and 17. If autographs are all you seek, line up at gate 44 as early as 1:30 p.m.

The autograph session with Saban, Alabama's assistants and players will last 45 minutes. Fans are limited to one item per person and will not be permitted to take posed photos with the players or coaches.

Parking is available at the West ten Hoor area of campus on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Soft drinks, water and some food items will be available for 50 percent below what they're sold on game days. The university will distribute 5,000 autograph posters.

In the event of bad weather, the event will be moved to Coleman Coliseum.
